This hotel seems to have been conceived and is operated for the up-market package tourist. The entrance hall, bar and restaurant areas are superb, and the meals and restaurant service are five-star. The bedrooms are OK, although a bit small and dowdy, and I hated the decor. The room rate I paid was 870 baht, which is unbelievably low. Very friendly and helpful staff; courtesy bus to the airport.
On the other hand, this place gave me the creeps. Totally "Englished", even not very good singers in the restaurant singing English songs, with the Thai style sadly missing. There were only Western tourist visitors when I was there. The hotel is nowhere near anywhere, and after dinner there is absolutely nothing, and I mean nothing, to do. Even the carefully disguised seperate karaoke building next door was empty. Maybe things are better in season, whenever that is.
No coffee-making facility in bedrooms, as advertised in the brochure, and the water pressure is a bit low. The isolation and artificiality irritated me; if this hotel was in the centre of London it would be five-star plus.
